Collection of approximately 200 pieces of original artwork and newspaper proofs for the Seattle Shopping News historical series "Spotlighting Seattle's Story." Seattle Shopping News was a small local Seattle newspaper, specializing in advertising for local retail, published between 1922 and 1973. The newspaper was proofed twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays during the 1930s and Mondays and Thursdays during the 1950s, by the Seattle Shopping News Association, and often included retrospectives on local history, as well as short pieces on local, national and international news. The episodes in Seattle history include stories about historical figures, events, buildings, sights, industries, and other topics. The artwork is ink drawings made by several artists including W.S. Gamble, Cone, Joe Velez and Mero (possibly David Mero).
